sizing two panels in a frame

Hi,

i would like to set the size of two panels which are next to each other in a frame.

The left one should be about 5 times wider than the one on the right.

splitPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(1000,500));

This one is not working.

Thx:

james

SplitPane is my right panel in the frame, this should be 5x wider than the right panel, whick contains 1-2 buttons.

So it is nothing to do with Splitpane, the problem is that 1 add the splitpane and the buttonPanel to mainPanel, and these 2 panels are which are added are the same wide!

Thx

It should be 5x wider than itself?

You should have posted a Short,Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program.
